RiverClan Camp

The furthermost camp away from the gathering place, the RiverClan camp is on an island in the middle of a small shallow lake. Littered with rocks, most of the dens have been dug out of the earth and are situated beneath trees as the roots keep the dens together better. The leader's den is situated in an old hollow tree; when speaking to the Clan, the leader stands on an old round rock. During new-leaf the island is prone to flooding; when this happens the rocks littered around become safe zones for those who cannot yet swim.

The dark pup flicked his tail in disgust as his bright coloured goody-two-shoes sister dashed out of the nursery and did her usual sucking up routine before dashing over to be nice to moonbreeze. Smirking a little as Moonbreeze ignored Glitterpup it held the dark pups attention for a while longer before he lost interest. Standing up and yawning softly he cast a brief glance up at the sun, not really seeing why everyone was worried about it, turning about on his dark paws the mostly silent wolf decided that with everyone distracted he'd go for a wander. He quite enjoyed wandering all over the place, and had made several trips out of camp before without being noticed, it was one of his specialties, most wolves didn't even know whom he was. Those that did thought he was mute, which suited him fine, he didn't have to speak if everyone thought he couldn't, besides he always had Glitterpup to count on to drag all possible spotlight to herself. It'd always been that way, she'd shined in the spotlight and drawn it all to herself while he was left in the shadows on his own, he liked it that way. He considered where abouts he should go an din the end decided that he'd go and visit the border with windclan, it was a nice walk there and it'd keep him quite busy. Slipping through the shadows he paused, well hidden to take one final look around and froze, very patiently he waited until it was the perfect time to leave. Slipping out of the camp, the silent creature turned his paws to his favourite walking track, and along that track even then he was quiet listening to the sounds of nature around him and finding it far more soothing than the clamor of camp. The strange little fellow took his time, after all he had all afternoon before he would be noticed missing, even then he doubted his clan would. He was never noticed, never missed, he might as well have been a ghost watching the world, not that it bothered him no, he welcomed it, and welcomed the solitude. ~Riverclan and Windclan Border~

All of a sudden the game had stopped and his siblings had darted towards their mother at her pained howl, getting up he slowly followed them tripping over a few things as per usual. He hadn't noticed the sudden darkness as to his eyes everything looked the same, as it usually did, blue and confusing. Hovering in the entrance to the Elders den he noticed his father, he looked different from normal, the usual blue that he was, was no more now he was a dark dark blue almost black. From this the pup gathered that his father had died, not quite sure how he fell about the whole situation the quirky little fellow backed out rather quickly with his ears flicked back. The blue boy turned about and stared out with his deep blue eyes, one day they'd lighten into the same gold his father had had, deciding he'd find somewhere to sit and think through all of this he wandered away from the elders den the concept of death was extremely hard for him to figure out. Already it was if his father had just been a dream, and had never really existed, he half noticed Hollowpup get jumped on by his sister a little preoccupied with his own thoughts. Iceflood had said his father was in starclan now, and he felt himself doubting that a little, would a wolf that had died and then a calamity occurred right after his death even be accepted into Starclan? He wasn't really that sure, weaving his way through the legs that seemed to make up every day the pup frowned to himself, it wasn't even that starclan existed! There was a logical reason for the sun to be blocked out he just had to figure out what it was! So he latched onto the idea of figuring it out instead of thinking about his fathers demise.

Listening Carefully Stormblade thought it over, they might need another helping hand to take to the river and glancing about he noticed that Ripplesplash wasn't particularly doing anything that moment. He was quite certain that she'd be happy to help and so he called out to her "Hey Ripplesplash You're on this patrol too, Heading out to Perches flow to rescue the fish" He flicked Follyfoot and Ted a look "Head on out now theres not a moment to loose" the hairy dog glanced about the camp quietly, they need to do some hunting patrols as well. From Moonbreezes howl she'd not be much use for hunting at this very moment and so he glanced about and very soon realized that the only other wolves available to hunt at this time was himself and Greystar. Taking a long breath he glanced about the various pups that tottered about the clan, they really needed more warriors. The warrior considered it then decided that they still had the lake to hunt from if they needed to, the water level in the lake had dropped but was still a good couple of feet deep, enough to put fish into. His brain was buzzing with the amount of stress that was going on in his brain, he couldn't wait until Greystar picked a deputy and he didn't have to worry about all of this anymore.

Hollowpup tumbled over under the weight of his sister. Oblivious, he stared out over at Glitterpup, her dazzling eyes locking onto his for a brief moment before she turned away. Returning his attention to Bubblepup, he batted her gently on her head. "Hey, get off!" he playfully growled and kicked her off. He attempted a pounce onto her and started gnawing on her ear.

Ripplesplash flicked an ear as her name was called. She lifted her head and noticed it was Stormblade who had called her and she was to go on the patrol to Perch's Flow. Strange, half the time nobody even notices I'm around and now he's wanting me to come on a patrol with him she thought to herself as the pale gray and gray she-wolf slowly padded over to the dog's side. She never really felt she was needed right now but she assumed she could go help them with the bloody fish without water, which begged the question - what would they drink if all the water was gone? Would they all die of dehydration?

(Bubblepup)

Bubblepup yelped in surprise as her brother Hollowpup started gnawing on her ear. "Brother that hurts!" she shouted at him and tried pinning him to the ground. Her attention stalled away from her brother as she heard Stormblade speak. "Oooooooo, can I come help?" the young pup said, running over to the male dog.

He smiled all over his muzzle when he was spoken too so jovially, his long black tail not stopping its long slow wag, everything she was saying like about the clan being like a nice family and that they’d been happy to let her stay. When she admitted that she’d been abandoned his brown eyes widened and he glanced about before he murmured softly “me too” after that she explained that the names helped them all know what rank they were which made sense he supposed. Although it seemed a little confusing to have your name changed all the time, but he was sure he’d get used to it in time. Wondering what she was thinking as the pretty brown retriever sat there wagging her tail slightly in the dusty earth. She spotted Iceflood which was apparently the name of the white wolf with blue eyes that looked like gems he’d seen on a ring before. Following Follyfoot over to where Iceflood was he decided that he’d stick close to her, she was nice and was something he could understand. However it was the other dog, Stormblade who took charge, asking another warrior to come over and go on the patrol with them. It wasn’t long after that that the dog asked for them to leave, Ted had no idea where he was going and so he decided that he’d let Follyfoot and the other warrior who Stormblade had named Ripplesplash to lead the way. Once they were on their way, the black curly dog trotted after them, his stainless steel collar making a slight noise as he trotted along, he seemed quite happy and settled in already although it was in his nature to take things in his stride and not get too worried over things. ~Perches Flow~

Ripplesplash glanced towards Ted as he seemed to follow after her. She flicked her ears back, not really used to having the dog's companionship but she had to deal with it. She led on towards Perch's Flow, hoping, praying to StarClan, that they'd find a way to save their Clan from starvation. She brown eyes held fear in them but that was the only way she shown how fearful she really was at the moment. She had too many things to worry about than her own feelings. Her Clan came first.~ Perch's Flow ~

The friendly dog gave Stormblade a nod, happy to get going while Iceflood finished off whatever he was doing. Nosing Ted, she padded off after Ripplesplash, glad at this point to not be in charge. Once they were at the water, that might be a different story. She and Ted would have their instincts to follow - after all, it was half the reasons he'd joined this clan. They had so much water she could play and hunt in with ease. Maybe the wolf coming with them would be able to keep hold of the fish once they were out of the mud? It was going to be hard working out how to get as many fish as they could out. If the river was so low, then there was going to be mud everywhere, but she wasn't a stranger to mud. A cheeky thought wandered into her mind, and she grinned slightly. Her two legs hadn't really like her redecoration of the inside of their home with mud, but it had been so much fun.

Bubblepup watched as they left without her and frowned deeply. She wanted to do something other than sit in camp and watch the others all day. She wanted to explore the outside! She frowned more and her ears lowered. Some day she'd be an apprentice, and she hoped it would be soon.

Moonbreeze twisted her head to lick Oceanpups head as she nuzzled her leg in comfort. A few words broke through her haze in the loud voice that came from Glitterpup. Though all she heard was 'sorry', 'help' and 'know' so she could only guess she was offering her help if she needed it. "Thank you Glitterpup." she mummered before taking a couple of steps and giving Frozenpup a lick between his ears just once. "Go back to your game little ones." she told them softly lifting her head with dull eyes to watch the others leave the camp. It was then that she noticed the darkness and frown before padding over to Stormblade slowly. "Whats going on Stormblade?" she asked her friend softly.

Quite excited to be going and playing in mud, well okay maybe playing was the wrong word, but mud meant water even if there wasn't much there. Sticking quite close to Follyfoot as he liked her and felt that he could relate to her quite well the rather naive pups thoughts drifted to his mistress. He'd tried to keep her safe, he'd given her kisses over her bruises and had curled with her during the day to keep her safe. Remembering her kind blue eyes, rosy cheeks and dark black hair his tail lowered, how would she fare now without him there to protect her? He still believed biting her husband had been the best thing to do, it'd shifted the attention off of her onto himself, he often ached in the cold thanks to the beating. It hadn't been much longer after that she'd left him on the prairie,I miss her so much, she made the best cookies and foodstill he couldn't exactly tell anyone about any of this so he kept quiet listening as the adults decided what they'd do. A little unsure of Ripplesplash not knowing if she liked him or not, the gentle boy happily trotted after Follyfoot staying rather close to her as he had no idea where he was going, his thoughts however still remaining on the beautiful girl he'd kept company for most of his life. ~Perches Flow~

Among the crowd sat a white, gray, and silver male wolf with bright golden eyes. It was Glacierpath, the young warrior brother of Ripplesplash. He had heard among the startled wolves that Perch's Flow had dried up and all the fish were dying without the water. Unlike most of the wolves here he was glad the water was gone, for he was known as a drypaw, he didn't like swimming or getting wet for that matter, he was totally different from his sister. He was shy and clumsy while she was confident and smart. Also she was willing to swim to the depths of the river to catch the biggest fish she could find. He wasn't even willing to stick a paw in it. He sighed deeply as Graystar chose his sister and two dogs, one with a black curly coat and one with a golden coat to go to Perch's Flow to rescue the fish. I'd assume apprentice ceremonies shouldn't be far! he thought to himself happily. He hoped he had an apprentice though he wouldn't be nice if the apprentice wanted to swim. Glacierpath didn't even know how to swim and he often wondered why he was still allowed in RiverClan because of it.

He yawned widely, showing off his pearly white teeth and then licked his lips. He had been awake since the first light of dawn and he wanted to tap a nap.

Lunapup tilted her head as Iceflood mentioned that her father was now in StarClan, and that they wouldn't be able to see him anymore. "Never?" She didn't understand why Forsakensoul had to go to StarClan right at this moment. She listened as Iceflood told Pantherpup that he wouldn't be able to visit StarClan himself, but that they could look up at the sky or something like that if they ever wanted to see him again. She frowned, but Iceflood had left before she could ask any further questions. Instead, her attention turned to Moonbreeze as her mother comforted her for a few moments beore she too exited the elders' den. Lunapup glanced back at Pantherpup and Oceanpup, confusion and sadness visible in her gaze. She wasn't certain what they were supposed to do now, especially after all that had happened.

When the other members of the patrol stated that they were ready, Iceflood nodded. He knew that saving all of the fish, or even the majority of them, would be impossible. Perch's Flow was far too big for them to cover all of it. Speaking of which, was the entire river empty? Perhaps it would be a good idea to check on that to see if it were simply blocked upstream. "I'm going to go scout the river quickly to see if I can tell what's wrong with it before I continue over to where you all are," he told the others in the patrol. He exited the camp after them, making a quick detour along the way to see if he could determine the issue with the water level.

It was a bright and sunny day and Grayscale had bided her time in the sun and kept peeled eyes on the nursery. (Who knew when pups would go wandering off again? Starclan knows it happens too often--) It'd been quiet for the past few days and it had her itching for another patrol or another hunt after the last.

Until the river dried up, Graystar had kept the pack placid and they fell into a routine. She almost groaned aloud yesterday morning after being assigned to the Shadowclan border for the fourth time in the past week, but when the initiative came, Grayscale did not go.

Instead, she shoved her paws deeper into the dry mud to leave a lazy paw print, before switching gears and molding the sides into a castle taller pile before erecting a stray branch upon it. She hadn't voiced obvious enough concern to warrant her being sent to the river to figure out why their entire lives had packed up and left like a petty home-wrecker. Instead she was in camp. She understood authority and watchfulness and since her undying affection for Graystar had yet to abate and her large size had yet to shrink, it would have be smarter to keep her in the camp. She got that, but it nibbled at the back of her head.

Her father had been previous advisor to her worries and paranoia. "Grayscale do this and that..." she muttered. "Make sure everyone else isn't doing everything and make you useless and..." It was a pointless endeavor now, and she found herself thankful for the existence of a mother with a good head on her shoulders; instead she decided to seek a companion to suffer with instead of the "liberating" line of thought she had been hurtling towards. She easily spots one of the less tempting entrees in the camp.

Glacierpath wasn't too keen on the idea of small talk, but Grayscale was by far the easiest person to ask about the weather.

Really it was both a blessing and a curse.

"Hey." She sat down beside him. "What's up?" Really, she was going somewhere with this.

Oceanpup licked Lunapups ears as Moonbreeze left the elders den slowly. "Maybe we should go back to playing Mossball?" she said as a suggestion however her tone indicated she didn't really feel up to it. Instead she pressed closer to her little sister and gently groomed her fur taking comfort in comforting her. "It will be ok. We shall see him again when we go to starclan." she mummered to the smaller fae as she watched her brothers. Frozenpup seemed to be thinking about something but Pantherpup had the look on his face that spelt trouble.

Pantherpup frowned when Iceflood told him he couldn't go and get his father back from Starclan but he had made his mind up. He knew he had to cross the river however. His ears had picked up the fact that Perches Flow was all dried up and the small male grinned having found his way over to go hunting for a way to starclan. Standing he missed Oceanpups eyes on his form as he snuck out of camp. He was going to make Moonbreeze happy again and bring Forsakensoul back to her. However what the black and white pup didn't expect was what was going to happen to him next.

~Perch's Flow~

Dolphinsplash was so far in her own thoughts she didnt realize that the patrol had left. She had to hurry becore the fish started to die and then riverclan wouldnt have any food. Or at least they would have to change their diet. And without any river how would the new pups learn how to swim. With many thoughts on her mind she made her way to perches flow.

Her face brightened up when finally Moonbreeze noticed her, dipping her head she trotted out of the den with her muzzle stuck high in the air, spotting Hollowpup she smiled and padded over to him flashing Bubblepup a nice look. Quite fond of Hollowpup as he was perfect just like her and oh so handsome, the pup wagged her tail neatly and swiped her tongue over her muzzle. "hey Hollowpup" she greeted him before greeting Bubblepup the same "Hello Bubblepup" although she was actually here to spend some time with the wolf that would become her mate she was so certain of this even though he had no idea. Their pups would be beautiful and she already had the names picked out for them. Emeraldpup, Diamondpup, Sapphirepup, Rubypup, Topazpup the list went on all of her ideas having to do with gems, sitting down neatly on the slightly damp earth she flashed one of her gorgeous smiles at Hollowpup. It wasn't much longer before they'd be made apprentices, and although she'd miss her days of doing nothing it'd be good to show off to the clan just how good and nice she was, she wasn't Glitter the good for nothing and she was very proud of her nickname. Sweeping her tail around herself the silver and dark blue pup noticed her brother still wasn't back yet, she'd tell on him soon enough and get him into trouble! Giggling to herself softly at the thought, she glanced over at greystar a little slyly. Noticing that Moonbreezes pups were trotting rather solemnly out of the den she flashed them one of her warm smiles in an attempt to comfort them, she knew what it was like to loose a father, her and Silentpups father had gone missing a few months back and she had no idea what had happened to their mother. She'd be good and offer them some comfort, perhaps they'd like to play a game to try and distract themselves? She gestured at Oceanpup and Lunapup "would you like to play a game to keep busy?" she asked softly her features becoming concerned, still mostly concerned with how good she was.

"Thats what makes me so nice" "What I have got is too hot to hide."“It's just life, so keep dancing through.” "Look at my style, could it be more glam?""Oh, look at me can't you see? I'm fabulous baby!""Hell, you can tell even if you're blind. See, I'm fabulous baby!""I'm meant to be where the spotlight shines, Born to be on display.""It's good to see me, isn't it? No need to respond! That was rhetorical.""You just take that one road the whole time...I hope they don’t get lost. I’m so bad at giving directions."

Glacierpath flicked as ear and saw Grayscale walking around talking to nobody. He found the she-wolf odd and was rather nervous as the she-wolf greeted him and sat down next to him. He was half tempted to stand up and walk away and exit camp but he knew if he did so he'd probably hurt her feelings. "Nothing much, just thinking about what I should do today. I should really go hunting but I'm scared that I'll be too clumsy for this hunt." he answered her with a flick of his tail. His upper body was dark gray and his paws were silver, anywhere else on his body was white. He had been named for his coat and was quite proud of his name. His sister Ripplesplash had gone to Perch's Flow but he didn't want anything to do with mud, his coat was too white to be soiled by the brown sticky substance.

He slowly stood up after a long yawn and then padded forward towards the fresh-kill pile. He was smaller than his sister though they were the same age. He wondered if he'd get any bigger but he doubted it. He picked out what's left of a deer leg and started eating from it but he was willing to share it with Grayscale as long as the she-wolf didn't take his company too far. He wasn't interested in any she-wolves at the moment and had no wish to become mates with anyone.

Green-Leaf has finally arrived, and with it the last of the unusually heavy snows are finally melting. The warming days will bring out many of the prey species and hopefully allow the clans to survive, but there is still a dark shadow hovering over them all.
